College of San Mateo Mathematics and Science Teacher Education Program: A Bay Area Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation with San Jose State University and San Francisco State University
The College of San Mateo (CSM), a community college serving the San Mateo County area of California, is part of a collaborative effort in the San Francisco Bay Area to improve mathematics and science teacher preparation. With funding mainly through the National Science Foundation, the project is locally referred to as the MASTEP Project (Math and Science Teacher Education Program). MASTEP partners include two California State Universities (San Jose State University and San Francisco State University), four community colleges (College of San Mateo, City College of San Francisco, Evergreen Valley Community College, and San Jose City College), selected K-12 schools, and a number of informal educational institutions and local industries. Activities at CSM include recruitment of future math and science teachers through an active future teachers club; tutoring, mentoring and advising through the activities of an integrated science center; and professional development activities and ïŹnancial support for science and math faculty resulting in their signiïŹcant involvement in curriculum reform. As a community college, CSM plays a major role in identifying and supporting future teachers and providing these students with courses that are models of effective teaching
Moduli of formal torsors
We construct the moduli stack of torsors over the formal punctured disk in
characteristic p > 0 for a finite group isomorphic to the semidirect product of
a p-group and a tame cyclic group. We prove that the stack is a limit of
separated Deligne-Mumford stacks with finite and universally injective
transition maps.Comment: 37 pages, some improvements to the main resul
ACM bundles on del Pezzo surfaces
ACM rank 1 bundles on del Pezzo surfaces are classified in terms of the
rational normal curves that they contain. A complete list of ACM line bundles
is provided. Moreover, for any del Pezzo surface of degree less or equal
than six and for any we construct a family of dimension of
non-isomorphic simple ACM bundles of rank on
Tidal dynamics on the North Patagonian Argentinean Gulfs
Semidiurnal (M2, S2, N2 and K2), diurnal (K1,O1 and P1) and quarter-diurnal (M4, MN4 and MS4) barotropic tides over the North Patagonian Gulfs of Argentina: San MatĂas, (SMG), Nuevo (NG) and San JosĂ© (SJG) are examined using a regional numerical model. Detailed comparison of computed elevations and currents with those obtained from harmonic analysis of few long-term observational records showed good agreement. A large amplification of all semidiurnal waves is recorded when they cross SMG mouth. Most of the tidal energy coming from the south at this frequency dissipates to the northeast of ValdĂ©s PenĂnsula, where the largest tidal currents are located. While M2 currents (up to 2â2.5 m/s) are dominant, there are large S2 and N2 currents and locally intensified diurnal currents (5â10 cm/s) in some outer shelf locations. At difference with the semidiurnal and diurnal tides the higher harmonics M4, MS4 and MN4 develop a large amplification inside the NG. The model revealed a complex field of tidal residual currents. The intensity of such currents in some locations are of the same order of magnitude as those generated by winds or offshore forcing. We have identified three main patterns of residual circulation: regional coastal currents and gulf-wide gyres; inlet eddies and, topographic eddies. Vorticity balances and sensitivity experiments indicate that non-linear advection and bottom topography are the key mechanisms involved in the generation of these residual structures.Fil: Tonini, Mariano Hernan.
